Abstract:
Internet has rapidly developed for years as the powerful media that eliminated
time and space as obstacles to communication. It has grown wide in its potential use
for information, communication, social networking, recreation and education. Values
and the benefits gained are the satisfaction obtained from the use of internet. The
benefits gained vary according to the students purpose of using the Internet at school
or outside the school environment.
The purpose of this research was to study the satisfaction of using the Internet
for value education among the secondary students in the Catholic schools in Bangkok.
In this study, the Multiple Regression Analysis and a reference to the frequency
distribution, Mean and Standard Deviation were used to test the hypothesis.
Demographic profile, internet usage, values obtained in the use of Internet, perceived
supports for the use of Internet, benefits gained from the use of Internet and
satisfaction were used to examine the research questions.
Findings from the four hundred respondents from the six Catholic schools in
Bangkok revealed that location of internet use such as school, home and internet café;
age, gender, perceived support from educational structure and benefits gained from
the use of Internet are significant predictors to the satisfaction in the use of Internet
for value education among secondary students in the Catholic schools in Bangkok.
However, findings also reveal that perceived school support as training, the school
and year level are not significant predictors in the satisfaction of the use of Internet
for value education.
